I see a world that has variety rather than one solution and that should really be tailored to landmass (I.e. What works in London does not work in Sheffield). F1's direct road relevancy is limited, but it has the power to change mindset.

Drivers get extra energy in Overtake Mode. So as the leading car's energy tapers off after 290kph, the car behind can use the override mode for 350kW up to 337kph.
